When using a FeatureReader transformer to read Snowflake spatial data, the following warning is posted into the log.

Snowflake Spatial Reader: Skipping data in column '.GEOG' due to error (JDBC Type = VARCHAR, Vendor Type Name = GEOGRAPHY, Error: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class [B (java.lang.String and [B are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'))

The process does complete normally, but the geometry is not read automatically. Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? I’m using FME Form 2024.0.1.0, Build 24202.
